The background of my messages is disappearing

As of today whenever I send a text message - on either iMessage or to an Android phone - as the texts scroll up the background disappears.

This is only on my messages. Not on incoming texts. What is happening?!?

iPhone 8 Plus, 12

Green Backgrounds in Text Messages. I understand completely that Blue is iMessage and Green is Android/Troglodytes, but the Green backdrop against white is visually almost unreadable unless you stand right in front of the screen looking down. NOT COOL. APPLE, allow us to change the colors, or create a backdrop for SMS/Android that allows the white font to be properly read. Choose Violet, or a darker color. White on Neon Green is just wrong. Too little contrast. Please fix. This has been a problem for over a decade. Thank you.

Scrolling through pictures in iMessage is broken, again. iPhone XS, iOS version 12.1.2 I recently wanted to find a picture that I sent to someone, so I tapped the info icon under the recipient's name in iMessage and started scrolling up through the pictures. If I scrolled up to the placeholder images, the view suddenly popped back to the top of the list after more images were loaded. This happened each time images were loaded into the scroll list. I see that this issue has been reported before. Anyone else seeing this again now? P.S. I've already terminated the iMessage app and restarted my phone. Two other fiends are also seeing the same behavior, with different phones but the same iOS version.

My text messaging/imessage text colour has changed from white to black My text messaging/imessage text colour has changed from white to black and now it's really hard to read the messages that I have sent. Now on the green or blue background the text is black. How can I change this?
